Black Clay, La Chamba Cookware, is well-known and used throughout Colombia in restaurants and homes for preparing and serving traditional dishes such as Ajiaco. Its origins can be traced back at least 700 years to vases and pitchers found in pre-Columbian archaeological sites. It is still made in the traditional manner, by families in a small village on the banks of the Magdalena River in Central Colombia. Each piece is hand-made using local area clays, then hand burnished with a stone. The pieces are then fired in the village, giving them the distinctive black color and elegant look. The pieces heat very evenly and retain heat for a long period and can be used in the oven, the microwave or on a gas or electric stovetop, and can go directly to the table for a sophisticated presentation. Because the pieces are unglazed, they are completely natural and safe and contain no toxins or lead, and the porous nature of the unglazed clay allows the slow evaporation of steam and produce food that is healthier, tastier, and moist using less fat. Black Clay, La Chamba, Cookware is not only beautiful, but it is also quite sturdy and will last many years with proper use and care.
